two things i love. well, three things.

1. this sashiko baby blanket. that my best friend in japan sent my sweet little A. i was totally overwhelmed when i opened it. my friend and i learned how to do sashiko last christmas. while i was back in japan. and now she made anika her own big sashiko blanket. my gosh. all those tiny stitches. and the time she would have put in. this gift will definitely be treasured for many years to come.

2. the swaddle blanket i made for anika. well before she was born. out of one of my favorite nani iro fabrics. that i have been saving for years. and am i ever glad i did. it's perfect.

Congratulations on such a darling little baby! Just caught up on your news and saw your dear pictures, so wishing you as much sleep as you can get, and I'm sure she's just going to keep getting beautiful each day.

anika is so gorgeous ... i would love to learn sashiko. the blanket is lovely; i like the different colored threads. i did get a gift certificate from purl for christmas, so maybe! happy new year you three!

Oh, this post gave me the warm fuzzies :) Anika is so sweet, and you are obviously loving being a mama. That sashiko blanket is amazing too! I can't even imagine all of the work your friend put into it.
